95 Killed in Egypts "War Zone" Egypt declares national emergency

95 Killed in Egypts "War Zone"

Dozens of people were reported killed in clashes Wednesday as Egyptian security forces violently broke up sit-in camps of Muslim Brotherhood
supporters in Cairo. Officials say at least 95 are dead nationwide while the MB talks of 2,000 fatalities.

Demonstrators inside Rabaa were still holding out -- and hiding out -- as the barrage of tear gas and ammunition continued into
the late afternoon. There were little signs that the injured were able to be moved out of field hospitals inside Rabaa, and reporters on the scene
said they counted dozens of dead bodies in the makeshift morgues there. In an alley near the clashes, a skinny 22-year-old resident in shorts and a
T-shirt stood holding a white flower, staring mournfully at the scene. He declined to give his name, but said he had recently served in the army and
was due for another term. "I love the Egyptian army," the man said, "but what they are doing, killing protesters, it's against humanity."

It does look as though its inhuman behavior by the Army-the news channels have been showing lots of spec ops/SWAT types-with AK 47s shooting at
crowds.
Horrid to see-even though I am not a supporter of the muslim brotherhood.
Trouble is,the army will kick start a proper insurgency by killing protesters in this way...
maybe that's what they(the army)want,in order to take total power from the people.

A Sky news reporter has also been killed today,and members of Newsweek have been attacked by police/army.
So any media people are also being targeted by the look of it.
Which the army would do,if they have decided to start murdering civilians.

I wonder who's idea it was to allow a radical islamic regime to grab power in Egypt in the first place.

Wait a minute, wasn't that the US of A, who is now supporting the military regime ? Yup it was.

Looks to me like this confrontation was planned from the beginning on.

Obviously you failed to note that Morsi was elected in a democratic process. Hardly what I would consider to be a US idea. In case you failed to
notice there was a recent Coup where he was replaced by a military junta. To say this whole thing is the result of an American idea ( Muslim
Brotherhood winning free and fair elections) is irresponsible and totally off base. Check your history.. Or don't and continue to make ludicrous
accusations that are not based on reality. The US did not install Morsi.. Not did it particularly want the Muslim Brotherhood gaining power. It did
not steal the election that Morsi won fair and square.

To trumpet the success of "The Arab Spring" after only a few weeks was a huge mistake/miscalculation by Obama and his foreign policy advisors but it
was no worse that Bush standing on a Aircraft carrier under a banner that said "mission accomplished" and delivering a speech to the American people
before the actual fighting stopped in Iraq.

Of course this whole thing is a fiasco. It is time for the US to realize perhaps democracy is not for everyone and cannot be forced down people's
throats. The US needs to accept it was a coup and stop playing word games with the reality if the situation. We send billions of dollars each year to
Egypt for defense purposes. In case you had noticed they control one of the most vital strategic locations in the world. The Suez Canal.

This act by Egyptian army was very wrong. There are dozens of other ways to remove the sit-in protestors from a place. Killing and shooting was
unwarranted. Guess Egyptian army and its leaders are only this much good.........to attack common sit in protestors and kill them in hundreds.

I myself am scared of extremist Islamic versions but outright killing protestors is very wrong. It seems extreme measures were used without employing
more peaceful or rather practical ones.

I have already predicted a lot of trouble in Egypt on this forum, much before military coup.

The situation will continue to worsen there, I am afraid.

The USA cannot take strong action as it is bogged down by its own problems. USA is not good anyway in resolving such problems. The USA is divided into
two major factions which are at war with each other. The ruling elite in Washington is a supporter of Muslim Brotherhood, that controls Hamas in Gaza
strip. Muslim Brotherhood has deep links with Al Qaida as well.
